| Signage: | Through the lens of a camera, school children are seen in victorious postures, holding banners and rejoicing, celebrating that their struggles for the right to receive a decent education has ended. The camera hints at the artist’s belief that television can be used as an important educational tool, thus emphasising that education does not only take place in schools but has a place in aspects of life. |
